That bastard! That asshole! How dare he? I cursed silently as I walked alone through the empty hallway that had led Anita and me to Leo's chamber earlier.I just wanted to kill Leo and even if I couldn't, I wished someone else did it, I just wanted to see him die. I don't even know who is worse between him and his friend...or enemy...or frenemy, whoever Lade was to him. I just know that I hate these men.I walked up the stairs, feeling ashamed of myself for not being able to stop Leo from grabbing me from behind like he did. I felt disgusted by it. He touched me with the sand-filthy hands he used to make Carlos bleed. Who knows how bloody Lade's hands have been but yet I stood and let him squeeze on my ass on Leo's order. Leo! I hate him, I hate him so fucking much.I just opened the door to my room when I remembered my conversation with Leo earlier and my request for Nina's release from police custody.What if he doesn't consider my request because of how I pushed him away in his cha

What the hell?! Eagle didn't even think twice, he just was ready to shoot me immediately as Leo ordered. Did he know he could be dead by now if I decided to be obedient like he was and shoot him?"Sir, do I kill her or do I just shoot her?" I heard him ask Leo for a clearer order with the gun still pointed at me.When I took a glance at Leo through the side of my eyes, his lips were back to being curved upwards. "Kill her." Leo's two words reverberated in my ears as I turned to him with surprise. He was serious with his order. I heard the sharp metallic click of the gun's trigger being pulled and my heart left my body. I closed my eyes to receive the bullet that should have hit me but after some seconds, I felt nothing so I opened my eyes and the first face they met was Leo's.I could hear the man clicking at the gun's trigger repeatedly and I immediately knew the gun had no bullets. Leo was chuckling. I could be angry at what just happened but I chose not to be. Instead, I took in

Morning. I heard a loud knock on the door. Still half asleep and semi-conscious, I covered my head with a pillow. The knock didn't stop and even with my ears covered, I could still hear it so I gave up and sat up on the bed.I should be mad at whoever is knocking because I hate being disturbed while I sleep and having to cut my sleep short. I hated being woken up; I would rather wake up on my own than have someone do me the favour but this time I had to make a tough decision.This isn't my apartment, this isn't my place, this is Leo's mansion and I have to do as he says. He had told me that I would have to wake up by five to join his security team in training. I lazily dragged my feet to the room door after wrapping the duvet around my chest as if I had slept naked. When I got to the door and opened it, there was no one there so I closed it and went back to get ready.When I got downstairs, the whole place was empty and quiet like it's always been since I came here. I went to the fr

Mae was initially being stubborn to take her birthday shoot with her doll but my mother had to plead with her to let her(my mother) hold the doll while she took her pictures.She finally agreed after a while of begging from some of the other nannies too but she didn't give the doll to any of them, rather she tossed it to one of the chairs around.Her picture was taken and she left as soon as the photographers confirmed that they didn't need any more shots. She left without the doll so I went and picked it up, running after her with it."Hey," I called out when I was close enough for her to hear me. She stopped and turned around to see who was calling for her attention but when she saw that it was me, she continued walking.I hurried to her and stopped her from taking any other step after I held her arm to have her listen to me."Ewww! Don't touch me!" She snarled at me and I let go of her immediately."Hi, I'm...""I know who you are. Aren't you daddy's shoe-shiner boy?""Yeah. Uhm, I

Late evening.It was starting to get darker now. I stood with my hands akimbo and watched almost all the men leave the field through the gate. Rhea was one of the last few to leave."See you tomorrow, Mae." She smiled at me when she was about to leave but stopped."Hopefully." Hopefully? What did she mean hopefully?"K4! Come over here!" I heard the commander but looked behind me to see who he was calling out to before eventually realizing I was K4.I jogged over to where he sat. He was on his phone for the next five minutes while I stood in front of him. The field was empty as everyone had now left and it was just me and him.Soon, darkness took over the field and some bright lights automatically came on and took over the place. I became tired of standing and watching him use his phone so I decided to remind him of my presence."Uhm...are we going to begin the training anytime soon?" I asked him and watched as he slowly took his eyes off the phone to look at me.He had a dull face. H
